Well I haven't been writing anything here in over a year so lets give this another go. I will be rambling about my experience with the Steam service in the recent months but lets start with my first impression I made years ago. When I first heard about Steam it was way back when Half Life² was going to be released and while today I'm not too thrilled by the game, back in the day I really wanted

 (Post is under construction) So I got my copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit a little while ago and have been exploring it and have been looking for some things to compliment my new system so I thought would I share my experience on getting started on the new Windows and maybe you find it useful. First of all I'm positively surprised as to how well this already works so early after its

Actually I have been for a while now, however still rather quiet after what has happened and with the problems that are still very much going on afterwards. But I do have a properly working computer again now thanks to the generous help of a dear friend (you know who you are). "Properly" is putting it lightly actually. While I had to use a weak, old PC over the months to have any kind of text

In the evening of September the 1st, losing the struggle against the aftermath of a stroke and the cancer that was found in her body, my mother has died at the age of 60.It was ensured that she would never have to suffer great physical pain and everyone visited her often to not be so alone over the long days in bed. However being paralized on her left and in a hospital which she dreaded so much,

I'm writing this just to let some of my close friends know why I am not showing up anymore. About two weeks ago my PC broke down on me... It is likely the mainboard as it's not even booting the BIOS anymore. So it's dead for good. This comes at the worst timing too as my mother has suffered a stroke, has a severely damaged liver and has been found to have cancer metastases in her body. I had

..or how my pc grows up 5 years too late. In the long meantime since I've been working on you, blog, my main hard drive has died by the way. I've lost a lot of things that meant a lot to me like the logs from all of my time in Furcadia and SL (since it had logging). Saved memories have a big meaning to me especially due to my condition with my impaired memory and I guess the fact that I had been

Well just as I predicted I couldn't keep up with updating this.Naturally in my condition as always. I can start things again and again, gather a little bit of initial enthusiasm to get energy out of nowhere for doing so and then after the first break I never get to finish it as I would need to force my sick little body and brain from then on which only possibly results in suffer like overloads or

What you see here is my own attempt of a tutorial that teaches how to achieve the effect of water on a surface ...even including the broken reflections!This tutorial video and more I've found at "Pixel Perfect with Bert Monroy". If you'd like to go straight to the water drops you can click here.He shows techniques in both Photoshop and Illustrator.I find the format of the show really appealing

Well lets give the Blogger player a test run then.Erm... please don't mind the quality and content. *cough*This project was planned to be worked out more, having a friend of mine in the other place and such but as usual what I want to do and what I can manage to get done are different matters in my condition. So this is the little test I got done with my first ever steps in video editing.Can you

o.o *just looked at the uploaders for media here the first time* Just wow this is so nice. Not only can I host everything I need instead of having to bother with bandwidth of some image hoster but ...8MB per pic and 100MB per video... This is so very neat! *hugs her new Blogger* Sorry if this looks like advertising but I am seriously amazed about the generosity of a free blog service like this

No, not even such I had in the past so writing down my thoughts is pretty new in this format. I mean the talking "to self/piece of paper" way of writing instead of communicative interaction. I am not sure how long it'll take until I catch on. Ugh I am glad I didn't make this thing "official" yet hehe. Lets hope I'll get some interesting ideas or anyone would enjoy to read the mind junk I'll

At least for now I am not setting them in stone yet so until I am all set the blog might not load when I found my "ideal" set and changed the url.In the case you are someone who came across the blog already and want to keep looking out for it (which is unlikely) I will be putting the final url into a profile or two of mine where it can be found back again then.I am still tinkering with everything

"That is the question"Greetings fellow internet user who came across my blog. Please enjoy your stay if you will.So, yes I am actually not even sure yet if I really want to blog publicly. I can't really make up my mind about it so the best way to find out will be to just try.I haven't really blogged much at all yet with few exceptions and I am not sure how much content I could put out that I'd
